MESSRS. EDITORS:-In regard to an item IN a
late issue of your paper please allow further no
tice: Stephen House, Surveyor in 1886, was
killed by lightning while standing with one hand
resting against tree-the electricity passing
down the hand and arm, thence to his foot, melt
ing the ShOe-buckle as it passed to the ground.
His surveying instruments were by his side when
found. At that date but eleven men OF legal age
were citizens of this town, A corOneF'S inquest
was held over the body. William Midget, aged
%, was one of the jurymen; Frederick Hopkins
aged q, was another, and settled where Mi. I'll
Dickinson now lives. In order to make the pan.
ell complete. Henry a relic of the above named
Frederick, was empanelled, although lacking a
few months of legal age. This was the year pre-
viouS to the first settlement i'll the town of Hyde
Park-Which occurred i'll July, 1887, on the flat
and settled by one McDaniels-as stated by the
ancestor OF your correspondent AT the time OF
the death OF young House this section was EN-
bfaced within the limits of Chittenden County
and SO remained until the organization of Frank
lin County. An incident occurred while Cam
bridge was in the County of Chittenden, that may
interest your readers. For many years, before
and after the date above referred to, Gov Thorn
as Chittenden. of WilliSton, was Chief Executive
of this State. He had a brother, Noah, living II
Cambridge upon the land now owned by W. ID
Mccoy, and upon time Gov. Cnlttenden VlSltet

walked through the woods with his brother t

''Some one told me that smile would

good natured and pleasant to every one,
no matter how cranky a customer might
have, but really, it is harder work than /
thought. Still, | am sure good nature
pays, and / don't know of any position

a Joke on BernharIt.

Apropos of the theatre, Nine Bern
hardt was made the victim of a practical
joke on the night of her last performance
at the Star theatre. She is much addicted
to the practice known among actors as
"guying," and philosophic enough to be
not averse to joke upon herself if it is
funny. In the second act of "Theodora"
the empress visits the amphitheatre in
which she was once star. In the vaults
where the performers and the wild beasts
are housed she renews old acquaintance,
especially with brutes. The audience sees
the lions cage, with the straw sticking
out between the bars. but the lion himself
is left to the imagination. On this oc-
casion when Bernhardt went up to the
cage to caress the phantom king of beasts
she almost shrieked with laughter Nest
ling comfortably in the straw was apoodle
puppy, which blinked and whimpered at
her as she apostrophized it in heroic
strain. The affair put her in such good
humor that the performance passed off
without a quarrel with any oDe--a rarity,
indeed, as performances with Nine Bern
hardt go.-Alfred Trumble in New York

Farming In Japan.

An American writer who visited some
of the most important of the agricultural
districts of Japan in company with Gen.
Van Buren,, United States consul general
at Yokohama, has published an interesting
account of what he saw and heard. OF
labor saving instruments or machines
Japan has very few. Even the plow is
but little used, broad plated mattock
being the principal tool for stirring the
soil, and there is not -four mill in the
country, unless the hand grinding ma
chine similar TO that depicted on the
tombs of the ancient Egyptians can be
called by that name. Wheat is for the
most part hulled and eaten us rice is, that
which is ground being made into unleav-
ened cakes. There is no word IN the Jap
anese language for bread, nor any pro-
cess in the national cookery analogous to
yeast fermentation.
In many parts of the country the soil is
extremely fertile and the cultivation is ex-
cellent. Near Kioto, the old capital, it is
not uncommon to grow seventy bushels of
rice TO the acre us the second crop of the
year from the same land which had pro-
duced forty bushels of wheat as n winter
crop. Nor is this all the years produce,
for early vegetables are sown between the
rows of wheat in February, maturing
with the latter in May. After the wheat
harvest the land is prepared for and
planted with rice, which is harvested in
October. Barley and rye, like wheat, are
planted in the autumn. Naize is culti-
waited to some extent and millet is pro-
duced abundantly in attitudes where rice
viii not flourish. The farmers manure
the land heavily and stir it a great num-
ber of times between harvesting and sew
ing also cultivating between the rows
after the corn is up.-Chicago Times.
